Uncertainty. Pressure to succeed. Self-inflicted timelines. Imposter syndrome. Losing friends. Moving cities. Aging parents. Insecurities. Feeling behind. And of course, bills.All while I'm sitting on a box because I haven't built my chair yet. In my new apartment. All. Alone.I just turned 28, and things are effin' hard. I don't want to sugarcoat my struggles and pretend everything's amazing when I'm secretly trying to hold it all together. And if there's anything I know about the late twenties from personal experience and my very own friends going through it in diff flavours... it's that this isn't uncommon.But everything will be okay.This episode is an outpour of vulnerability.

If you’ve ever been called “too much” or caught yourself shrinking to fit in, this episode is your reminder to stop giving power to the wrong voices — online, offline, or in your own head.

From being the youngest in the room in my career, to stepping into leadership roles I didn’t think I deserved, to battling the inner critic around content creation, I share the exact mindset shifts and “reps” that helped me build real confidence.If you’ve ever felt like you’re faking it, this one’s for you.By the end, you’ll know:​Why imposter syndrome hits ambitious people the hardest​How to reframe it as a sign of growth, not weakness​The simple practice of “reps” that rewires your confidence​Why faking it isn’t fraud—it’s fuelImposter syndrome doesn’t mean you don’t belong.

In other words, even in the midst of our busy adult lives, do NOT de-prioritize your pals!Since my previous friendships episode in Dec 2021 (ep 51), I've experienced two more years of new friendship lessons, some being harsher truths — specifically, SIX key lessons on the topics of growing apart, setting boundaries, making friends, lasting connections, and my personal tips to resist the loneliness epidemic.If you find it tough to make friends, keep friends, communicate boundaries, get triggered easily, or feel a general sense of confusion about friendships as an ADULT, this episode's for you.

HELLLOOOO friends, I've picked up the mic again after many months — and not without many changes!!! As you can see, the podcast has totally rebranded: goodbye "I'm In My Twenties?!" and hello "Musings with Meg" :) You can expect to see MORE content, shorter-form content, even more candid and RAW AF content. In this episode, I explain the reasonings behind the rebrand — and of course, a snappy life update (summer in Toronto and moving out), for life's been rather crazy.
